Facilities Advisors Texas is a company providing Reserve Study and Reserve Budget management services to common interest communities. We are a premium provider in that our network of nationwide offices are the only providers developing Reserve Management Plans in conjunction with a typical Reserve Study. We have set our expectations high and in doing so, have come to enjoy high praise from clients

and industry professionals. Our clients find peace of mind in knowing that our forecast calculations are fully audited and vetted by a 3rd party, non-biased, CPA. Our suite of services meet and/or exceed the minimum expectations for Reserve Study preparation under the current standards set forth by the Community Association Institute (CAI) and the Reserve Specialist (RS) designation. In addition, due to our unwavering commitment to efficiency through technology, we are able to provide our full software package, Facilities 7 Software, to clients. Facilities 7 Software is not the abbreviated spreadsheet version of our software, it is our full system, unlocked, allowing our clients the access they need in order to effectively manage their reserve budget. Finally, through diligence and trial and error, we have streamlined software to function as a data gathering tool. We are able to collect most relevant data in the field in the same format we use to write our reports. This saves us time which allows us to deliver reports on sensible schedules; oftentimes, quicker than our client expects. Facilities Advisors Texas was founded in order to broaden the reach of Facilities Advisors International by bringing a local presence to The State of Texas. Facilities Advisors Texas' managing partner and president was born, raised and spent 4 1/2 years providing reserve study services along The Front Range and throughout The Rocky Mountains. Due to familiarity with the region and its unique climate we are also charged with meeting the growing interest and high demand for services throughout Colorado.

Who is your next "board president"?!

As a business owner and expert on long term bugeting, this election season is nothing short of startling. Without taking sides or pushing an agenda, let's look at this in terms of a BOD and their Reserve Management Plan. I'll let you come to your own conclusions...

Scenario: The HOA has approved projects that are considered non-essential over the next 2 years totaling $350,000. A $100,000 roof replacement is imminent within the next 3 years. The HOA does not have the roof funds now and projections require a significant increase in dues in order to fund this project as well as the other, non-essential projects.

President A: Will fund all the non-essential projects, promise roof replacement and also sign on to build a pool, clubhouse, dog park, skate park and resurface the roads. Then he/she promises the members that their REGULAR dues won't go up a single cent and the members who "can't pay their dues", AND their visitors, are going to get free gym memberships until they can pay their dues, at which time, they lose their free gym membership.

President B: Will fund all the non-essential projects except for the one President A really likes, promises roof replacement and also signs on to build a pool (no clubhouse), dog park, skate park and REBUILD the roads. Promises to "go after" members who are delinquent on payments, disallow homeowner's visitors from using their amenities and promises your dues will magically go DOWN 30%.

President C: Will cancel the non-essential projects, REQUIRES that the budget allows for roof replacement, does not sign on for other unnecessary or superfluos projects unless members decide for themselves to fund them. In addition, he/she will allow homeowner's visitors to use the amenities as long as they follow the rules and respect their property. Promises to use the SURPLUS funds in the best way to protect property values and keep the member's rates at a nominal increase sufficient to offset annual inflation which alleviates the usurious increase going forward.

Who will you endorse as your next board president?

I wasn't sure what I was looking at but I did assume this was done on purpose. Turns out, these plant/tree beds are filled with colored and treated (preserved) pine needles, aptly named, Pinestraw. Pinestraw is typically NOT considered a reserve item as replenishment is necessary a couple times per year...interesting to see how other regions of the country design their landscapes. This gave a clean, colorful and polished appearance throughout multiple communities in the Atlanta suburbs.

Interesting conversation with a client last week regarding funding for mailbox replacement within an HOA. At least 2 common considerations: 1) Many people simply assume the USPS is responsible for replacing them. This is more and more rare; the USPS will most likely NOT replace mailbox kiosks when installed along private roads, within buildings or installed on a building or mailbox structure. 2) Even if the USPS will replace your mailboxes/kiosks, you can count on the fact that it will only be due to complete failure of the unit, NOT due to aesthetics. Although this decision is best made by the BOD, we recommend reserving funds for mailbox replacement as a "default" budget consideration.

I was looking for an interesting/fresh take on Exterior Insulation and Finishing System/s (EIFS). I came across this picture in the process. I'm going to guess that this is why architectural control committees exist...?
